Basement Renovation Ottawa: Finishing, Legal Suites, and Flood Rebuilds

By an Ottawa basement team that publishes its prices and verifies credentials before work begins. Tell us what your basement needs to become, and we’ll show you what it takes and what it costs.

Credentials verified before launch

Permits on every job

Published prices

Finishing

Turn the basement you store junk in into the floor you actually live on

A finished basement is the cheapest square footage you’ll ever add: a family room, a home office, a guest suite, all under your existing roof. We frame, insulate, wire, and finish to code, then hand you a space that feels like the rest of the house, not a renovated cellar.

And you’ll know the number before we start: a finished basement in Ottawa typically runs C$45,000–C$95,000, quoted line by line, no “call for quote.”

  • Permit pulled on every job: safe, insurable, full resale value
  • Published price ranges and an itemized quote before you commit
  • Credential documentation verified before launch and before work begins

Legal suites & SDUs

Make the basement pay for itself

A legal secondary dwelling unit turns unused space into real monthly income, and adds value a finished rec room can’t. We handle the part most homeowners dread: egress windows, fire separation, ceiling height, separate entrance, and the City of Ottawa permits that make it legal rather than just rentable.

Done by the book, it’s an asset that appraises, insures, and resells. Done off the books, it’s a liability. We only do the former.

  • Egress, fire-separation, and ceiling-height brought to code
  • Every required permit pulled and inspected
  • Walkout and separate-entrance options where the lot allows
